David Stanley - Gemstone Sculptor

I have known David Stanley for many years. His
art/craft has changed over these years. Though I see
him yearly, he hasn't discussed his previous work from the
1990's - Gemstone Sculpting. I do not believe that he
is doing this artistry as it is very time consuming and
therefore costly. The last purchase of this material
that I made occurred in the early 1990's when he visited
my office. Though there were a few hundred pieces
shown to me, I chose only a few that I thought showed high
quality, uniqueness and an interesting design that would
lend to a unique ring or pendant design.

Note that the remaining few pieces I have will be sold
with a certificate signed by David Stanley and briefly
describing the stones. His sculpted stones are rarely
seen on the market as those purchasing them will not sell
them. Below is an article from Modern Jewelers
Magazine describing his work.

These pieces were designed by David Stanley, one of the
first Americans working in a similar fashion to Munsteiner in Germany.
These unique pieces were chosen from a few hundred pieces of David's work
approximately 20 years ago. They were chosen based on the designs, keeping
the customer and goldsmith in mind. Note that the citrine and amethyst
pieces are separate pieces, and one can separate them with a bar of gold,
diamonds, other gemstones or whatever the customer desires.
